Dreaming of secretly adopting a child - dream meaning with inherited lore

You bring a child home and adopt them without telling your family or those around you. You may worry about being found out or wonder when to tell them the truth.

Korean lore: Traditionally, this has sometimes been read as keeping a new connection or responsibility close without telling those around you. There are few interpretations that declare this scene good or bad on its own, so some also look at why it was kept secret and how you felt at the time. (This draws on folk interpretations of adoption as a symbol of new connections and caregiving; there is no clear tradition specific to secret adoption.)

Through the mind: You may be keeping an important plan to yourself because you’re worried about how family or others around you will react. Or the scene may reflect wanting to feel sure of your choice before explaining it to anyone.
